Indigenous Cultural/Intellectual Property News RSS Feed

Michael F. Brown’s web site, Who Owns Native Culture, has been mentioned on Savage Minds on several occasions. Each time I visit the site I see his wonderful, blog-like list of “news stories, articles, and reports” about indigenous cultural/intellectual property issues and bang my head against the wall because there is no RSS feed for this valuable source of information. I know there are several sites to create RSS feeds for sites which don’t have them, but I’d never been able to make any of them work. Then I happened to stumble upon this excellent tutorial for Feed43.com. Within minutes I had a working feed set up. Here is a direct link to the XML feed (Note: This will look like gibberish in your web browser, as it needs a feed reader to parse the data. I highly recommend Google Reader).

Another possible use for this service would be to make an RSS feed to alert you whenever a scholar’s list of publications is updated on their homepage, giving you a direct link to the PDF. If you create any anthropology related RSS feeds please share them in the comments.
